Japanese fans have been praised for cleaning up after themselves at the World Cup matches, following a long-standing tradition. However, this behavior has sparked controversy in Japan, where men typically leave household chores to women. A viral social media post highlights the contrast between male fans cleaning stadiums and women doing domestic work at home. According to a 2021 OECD study, Japanese women spend an average of three hours daily on unpaid domestic labor, while men spend only 47 minutes. The disparity is most pronounced among young couples with children under six years old.
